General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Did you have an X-ray of your ankle taken? If not, get one.
If it's a fracture , you might need a plaster cast or crepe bandage. Also keep the foot as immobilised as possible. Wearing boot to bed will cause more discomfort.
OTC analgesic will give some relief but not if there is movement
